Chapter 231 Encounter with Senior Sister in the Competition Trial

The wilderness here was similar to Forest City.

Before they got close to the Thunder Soul Earth, the environment was pretty good. Wang Che walked very quickly. As he was in a rush, he didn't really appreciate his surroundings. Soon, Wang Che saw a special area.

He could see it from afar.

The sky was dark and cloudy. From the outside, there was a faint layer of fog.

He closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

He seemed to be able to sense the lightning life force drifting between heaven and earth, and it was running amok.

“What kind of lightning soul beast is this?”

Wang Che was rather surprised. “It's been a month since it evolved, but it hasn't dispersed yet. Could it be an extraordinary lightning soul beast?”

Wang Che's interest was piqued. He even thought of other possibilities. Wang Che immediately released the Magnetic Sword and the green caterpillar.

As soon as the Magnetic Sword was released, it flew around in excitement.

It probably felt something too. The green caterpillar yawned in boredom.

Normally, it would be leisurely farming and watering the plants. The little caterpillar looked around, especially in front.

It didn't like that kind of environment.

“This is to help the Magnetic Sword.”

Wang Che said to the small caterpillar, “Show some spirit. It's your underling. If you don't help it, it won't remember your good intentions.”

The little caterpillar thought about it and felt that Wang Che made sense. It could not help but perk up.

It glanced at the Magnetic Sword flying in the air, its eyes filled with desire.

The Magnetic Sword flew for a while before hanging behind Wang Che. With the two of them, Wang Che quickly walked into the area filled with thunderclouds.

As soon as he entered, Wang Che knew that he was not wrong. Thunder clouds rumbled in the sky, and fine lightning flowed in the air, as if it had suddenly entered night. However, the visibility was not low. The surrounding plants and trees seemed to be covered in a pale purple skin that changed color under the rolling thunderclouds.

Many students and Contract Soul Masters brought their soul pets around to take photos. Occasionally, one or two wild soul beasts would appear. There was no danger but there were no resources.

It was indeed like a scenic spot. With the proper environment, it could attract many students to come and play. 'Just cultivating here makes the Magnetic Sword much faster than anywhere else.' Wang Che thought.

However, there were only very faint lightning here. Occasionally, there would be a bolt of lightning Wang Che continued walking in with the Magnetic Sword.

These places were the external areas, and the internal areas had changed even more. The further in they went, the fewer people there were.

The rumbling thunder was even louder.

The more excited the Magnetic Sword was, the more sizzling sounds it made. It was as if it was shouting, 'Heavenly Lightning, I'm coming! Before long, they arrived at the border of the inner and outer regions.

To Wang Che's surprise, when he arrived at the border, there were more Contract Soul Masters here.

There were even many temporary stalls, some even for students.

“The Lightning Avoidance Suit is worth 100,000 dollars. The rental price can be discussed. Contract Soul Masters who want to enter the Thunder Inner Area, hurry up and buy it!”

“Lightning Magnetic Bracelet! After using it, release a lightning magnetic field that covers three feet of the surroundings. You can avoid the Heavenly Lightning but it only costs 5,000 dollars an hour! It's an indispensable soul device to enter the Thunder Inner Area!” “Wind Lightning Wings. As long as a flying-type soul pet is equipped, even if it flies in the air and is struck by the lightning inside, it won't suffer too much damage. It's the last one! You have to rent it quickly!”

Many young Contract Soul Masters shouted around.

Other than renting soul devices, there were also various drugs and even rare materials. “This area has just been formed. It seems that many Contract Soul Masters have already heard the news.”

Wang Che glanced at it. This situation was like the clamor after discovering a new dungeon, especially since it had only been a month. Wang Che even saw many students from other colleges forming clubs and planning to explore. Typically, new ruins, wilderness environments, and space fluctuations had high exploration value.

This meant that there might be new materials, a new cultivation environment, and even new mutated soul beasts.

Sometimes, the military would even organize an exploration competition.

They encouraged many students to explore and cultivate.

However, he did not hear anything about this place.

Moreover, to enter the inner exploration of this area, one had to register. At the border, there was a faint membrane that seemed to isolate two regions. There was a special entrance in the inner region. They could only enter from the entrance.

At the entrance stood soldiers of the North River Continent.

Many Contract Soul Masters surrounded it and lined up to register. Wang Che pondered for a few seconds. This was expected.

There was no danger in the outside area, so they could play as they pleased.

The situation inside might be complicated and dangerous. No one would enter casually. As for the Thunder Soul Earth, it was in a sealed state and had yet to be opened.

Near the entrance, there were many different exits. From time to time, Contract Soul Masters walked out.

Their expressions seemed to be very ugly. Some of them were even injured quite a bit. Occasionally, a few would walk out with joy on their faces, probably having gained something “Eh, Wang Che!” Just as Wang Che walked over and was about to queue, a familiar voice came from the exit. Wang Che looked and saw Senior Tian Xiaoyu, who had welcomed the new students, standing not far from the exit and looking at him in surprise.

Beside her were a few seniors from the agriculture major.

Shen Mingluan was also among them.

“You're here too?”

Wang Che walked over and smiled.

For the past month, he had been focused on farming. Senior Sister Shen Mingluan had not come after helping Principal Gu pass some words.

“Do you also intend to enter the Thunder Inner Area to take a look? That's right, with your strength, you indeed have this ability.” Tian Xiaoyu smiled and said, “Most of you new students were attracted here to play outside.” “I was a little curious, so I planned to go in and take a look.”

Wang Che asked, “Have you already gone in to explore?”

“Of course.” Tian Xiaoyu sighed, “Two weeks ago, the second and third-year students of our Forest Academy organized an exploration.”

The situation near the Thunder Soul Earth had already lasted for a month.

Wang Che was not surprised that they had organized an exploration in the nearby area. “How's the situation?” Wang Che asked. “Sister Luan, tell me.” Tian Xiaoyu shrugged, “Wang Che doesn't know the situation here.” “It's so-so.” Shen Mingluan was wearing a light blue combat suit today. It was tight and close to her body. Her hair was tied up. She wore a baseball cap-like soul device and had a refreshing aura.

Perhaps because she had just walked out of the Thunder Inner Area, her beautiful face was a little tired.

“The Thunder Inner Area is quite troublesome.”

Shen Mingluan thought for a moment, “The main thing is that the environment is too dangerous. Even if you have a lightning soul pet, you can't stay for too long. Heavenly Lightning will descend every moment. If you're not careful, you'll be struck. Moreover, the lightning soul pets inside are too strong. Even if it's a ground soul pet, with its powerful immunity to lightning, it can't last for too long.” “I didn't stay for long and couldn't find many good things. If I'm unlucky, I might encounter abnormally powerful soul beasts after mutation.”

“Or some berserk soul beasts that crawled out of the Thunder Soul Earth.”

“It's very dangerous.” “The further you go, the more dangerous it will be.”

When Wang Che heard that, he thought to himself, 'It's indeed a good place.' Lightning struck every moment. This was too wonderful. The Magnetic Sword hanging on Wang Che's back seemed to be eager to come out of the electromagnetic scabbard. “That's okay,” Wang Che said, “If you can't find anything good, just come back.” “It seems that you still don't know.” When Shen Mingluan saw Wang Che, the fatigue on her face gradually disappeared. She smiled and said, “The Thunder Inner Area is quite important. You must have heard about the Thunder Soul Earth, right? In fact, in a month, the sealed Thunder Soul Earth will open again. The military of the North River Continent and the Lightning Cliff Continent will organize a school competition for the Thunder Soul Earth.”

“It's only limited to students below the fourth year of university. Moreover, the qualification for the competition is to stay in the Thunder Inner Area for at least three hours.” “Otherwise, you won't be qualified to participate in the competition trial.” This was new information to Wang Che.

“Due to the mutation of a soul beast, the situation inside the Thunder Soul Earth has become a little complicated. The military organizations of the two continents organized this competition trial to train the students of the universities of our two continents.”

Shen Mingluan explained, “Because the Thunder Soul Earth is even more dangerous than the Thunder Inner Area. Therefore, if you can't stay in the inner area for too long, the Thunder Soul Earth will be even harder. Three hours is the basic qualification requirement for the competition trial.” “Among the few of us, only Senior Shen can stay for three hours intact,” Tian Xiaoyu added, “The first time she came, she only stayed for more than an hour before she could not hold on anymore. She came whenever she was free this week, and on both weekends.”

“The third-year students and the students of the other majors are slightly better. Students from the various majors are gradually coming to try.” “Principal Gu also said that he intends to organize us to participate in the competition trial together. It's fine as long as we're ranked at the top.” “However, this news has not been completely announced yet.” “It's mainly because the difficulty is too high. Our university's pharmaceutical and food major students are already researching potions and food that can increase lightning resistance.” Wang Che nodded. He was a little interested in the competition trial, but he was more interested in the soul beasts.

Before coming, Wang Che had checked and found that it was a small-scale Soul Earth.

It was much smaller than the Floating Forest.

However, even if it was a small Soul Earth, if it wanted to cause such a huge mutation, that evolved soul beast was probably not simple.

“Aren't you wearing a soul device?”

Shen Mingluan glanced at Wang Che and took off the hat on her head. She said, “The inner area of the Thunder Inner Area is rather dangerous. The Contract Soul Master is not a soul pet. Without some soul devices, you won't be able to last long. Especially since most of our agricultural martial souls are related to plant cultivation, the physical strength is not high.”

“Here, you can have this Electromagnetic Hat. Take it first. Logically speaking, with your cultivation level, with two farms and a medicinal field, and your green caterpillar can accelerate the growth of crops, you can easily grow some good crops and sell them for a lot of money, right? You shouldn't be short of money.” “Since you're here, why don't you buy some lightning-repelling soul devices?” Shen Mingluan handed over the hat.

“Eh….”

Wang Che was silent for a few seconds. He had indeed accumulated some soul plants and crops. However, the little caterpillar was a foodie. After a thousand years of soul power cultivation, it had to begin condensing the Five Elements Soul Essence again. In order to prevent the little caterpillar from running out of food, he naturally did not sell anything. Wang Che did not care much about money. Even with money, Wang Che could not buy a low-level soul plant that was comparable to the Water Orchid planted in the spiritual field. The staple food refined with higher-level soul plants was not suitable for the little caterpillar with its current cultivation. If it did not absorb it well, it would be harmful to eat too much. “There's no need for this, right?” Wang Che looked at the hat and wanted to refuse.

“Take it if Sister Luan gave it to you.”

Tian Xiaoyu chuckled, “Sister Luan has become rich recently. After her Hundred Fragrance Soul Bean was improved, it was valued by many corporations and sold in large batches on the market. She has the patent and can get money for every batch she sells. She's so rich!”

“It's also thanks to the idea you gave last time.” Shen Mingluan smiled.

“That might not be the case. Even without the idea I gave you last time, you can think of it yourself soon.” Wang Che shook his head.

In fact, from Wang Che's perspective in his previous life, the Hundred Fragrance Soul Bean was still lacking.

Not only the Hundred Fragrance Soul Bean, but many staple foods and potions sold on the market had problems.

However, to most soul pets, these issues were not important.

In fact, most of the soul masters who refined it knew these problems.

For example, the problem of simple raw material use.

Most of the soul masters who refined it wanted to pursue speed. The process was rather rough and less than 30% of the raw materials were used.

Even if it was refined exquisitely, the efficiency was less than 50%.

Further up, due to the limitations of the conditions and refinement method, it might only have a 70% use rate at most.

Wang Che relied on himself to refine everything for the little caterpillar because he used the alchemy technique of immortal cultivation. Coupled with his experience and level, especially after obtaining soul power, using a powerful pill refinement technique could achieve an efficiency of more than 90%.

This was still with the fire of the little caterpillar. Otherwise, if it was changed to the True Samadhi Fire, it would be infinitely close to 100% usage level. The quality of the staple food refined was ridiculously high. If he did not consider the little caterpillar's appetite, he could definitely shock the world by selling it. However, this could not be mass produced.

Unless Wang Che lowered the standard himself and modified a suitable pill refinement method to spread it and let most soul masters learn a little, it was possible to mass produce it.

That would be too troublesome. With this time, it was better to cultivate the soul pet himself.

In the future, when there were more spiritual fields and more resources, he could consider it when he had time.

Shen Mingluan's Hundred Fragrance Soul Bean could be mass produced and replicated. Even if the efficiency wasn't high, with the improved effects, it was normal to be valued.

For a student, such an achievement was very impressive.

Seeing this, Wang Che did not argue and took the Electromagnetic Hat.

He would return it to her later.

It did not matter if it was used or not.

“Do you have any medicine for recovery and lightning insulation?” Shen Mingluan asked again.

Wang Che thought about these seniors and seniors. They were really well prepared.

He was not prepared because there was no need… with his physical strength and the Magnetic Sword, there was really no need.

“Be more prepared!”

Shen Mingluan touched his wristband, took out a bottle of medicine, and handed it to Wang Che.

“I've seen your competition and know that your second soul pet is the Magnetic Sword. It has a very strong absorption of lightning. Back then, it could defeat two lightning-type soul pets at once.”

Shen Mingluan glanced at the Magnetic Sword on Wang Che's back and said, “You definitely came here to find some resources for your Magnetic Sword to cultivate, right? The resources of the academy are indeed relatively few in the area of mechanical soul pets. However, this isn't a soul pet battle. Your Magnetic Sword can only absorb lightning to a certain extent, but it can't be as immune as a ground-type soul pet, right? Over time, even ground-type soul pets can't withstand this place.” “Moreover, the lightning inside is very strong. It's much stronger than the lightning released by soul pets.” “Oh you, I heard from Teacher Yan Shan that you have quite a lot of experience in exploring the wild. Every time you explore the wild, you are even more experienced than him. Why didn't you prepare anything this time? Even if this is a new wilderness environment, you can't not prepare anything!” Wang Che looked at the medicine and thought about it. He did not explain much and took it.

It was troublesome to explain and a waste of time.

After all, she had good intentions.

Wang Che did not prepare any recovery medicine. He brought some pills that he had refined. As for an insulator, there was no need. How could he cultivate after drinking those potions? The Divine Sword Lightning Control Scripture was not only cultivated by the Magnetic Sword, but Wang Che also had to cultivate it. “Then I'll go in first.” Wang Che waved at them.

“Be careful.” Shen Mingluan instructed.

Wang Che queued up to register. Then, he passed the entrance of the Thunder Inner Area.

After Wang Che left…

“Heh… Sister Luan, aren't you too concerned about him?” Tian Xiaoyu poked Shen Mingluan's shoulder and said sneakily, “Tell me, is it…” “Principal Gu and Professor Yun instructed me.” Shen Mingluan coughed lightly, “They want me to pay more attention to this junior. Actually, I don't think there's a need. He's already very powerful.”

“Tch! I don't believe you.”

Tian Xiaoyu had a look of disbelief, “However, I heard that this junior is very focused. After entering university, he cultivates in his small wooden house every day. He's not absent in any activities class. Occasionally, he will take a mission and can complete it perfectly. He doesn't fight other people's soul pets either. He feels very relaxed. The speed at which he cultivates shouldn't be fast, right?”

“He could become the champion of the Aviation Cup. I thought he would train his soul pet every day.” “I also heard that many beautiful female seniors are very interested in him.” Tian Xiaoyu chuckled, “Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have any intention of meeting them. Does he like planting so much?” “Moreover, no matter how special the green caterpillar is, it doesn't need a lot of cultivation resources, right?”. “This…” Shen Mingluan pondered for a moment, “I'm not sure either. Let's play outside on today's weekend. When he comes out, we'll go back together. We can also see how long he can stay. The competition trial in a month's time is quite crucial.”

“Alright, I have no problem with that. I've been in the Thunder Inner Area every day for the past two weeks. I've been dreaming about lightning strikes every night.” Tian Xiaoyu stretched, “I do need to rest. I think Wang Che will come out in at most two hours.”

After Wang Che entered the inner space, he looked up and saw lightning rumbling. It landed not far away. Countless rock fragments exploded. Floating in the sky was a type of plant, Lightning Hyacinth, that guided the lightning to descend.

There was light purple ground all around. There were basically no plants or trees. Even if there were, they were plants related to lightning. However, many were guarded by some powerful lightning soul beasts. In the distance, he could see broken mountains.

There were many lightning soul beasts in sight.

Many students who had just entered immediately wanted to retreat when they saw this scene.

It was like a lightning hell. The atmosphere was very shocking.

“This is heaven!”

Wang Che could not help but sigh.

After walking for a while…

“Magnetic Sword, come out and cultivate!”

Swish!

The Magnetic Sword unsheathed and floated in the air. Its body glowed red. Clearly, it was also extremely excited.

The little caterpillar was not afraid of the Heavenly Lightning anymore.

After learning the Force of Nature and cultivating the Nature Visualization Method, it had a certain understanding and resistance to the various powerful forces of nature.

Of course, these lightning bolts did not seem to be released normally.

“I'll find more resources when I have the time.”

Wang Che said, “Just cultivate for a day first.”

“Ssss!”

The Magnetic Sword nodded.

Wang Che first looked around and observed for a while.

The intensity of the lightning was indeed quite high. It was slightly stronger than the usual lightning rain.

The effects of this cultivation were naturally better.

The air was filled with rich soul power and lightning energy. To lightning-type soul pets, it was also a treasure ground for cultivation.

However, it could not stay for too long.

“The location of the lightning is too random.”

Wang Che frowned slightly, “You have to concentrate. Otherwise, with every bolt of lightning, you have to change locations. Cultivation is too troublesome.”

Wang Che looked at the Lightning Hyacinth.

This was a plant soul pet that liked lightning.

It was a rare grass and lightning dual attribute that had a powerful lightning attracting effect.

The first stage plant soul pet was called the Lightning Root Doll. The second stage evolution was the Lightning Hyacinth, and the third stage evolution was the Lightning Crown Root King

It was a rare dual attribute soul pet that could float in the air.

“There are so many Lightning Hyacinths. It's probably because of the environment. A large number of Lightning Root Dolls have evolved. Before the Lightning Root Doll evolved, it was only a grass-type soul beast.”

Wang Che pondered and said, “The condition of evolution is to guide the Heavenly Lightning to stimulate the body. After years of stimulation, it will evolve into a Lightning Hyacinth. Now that the environment has changed, the Heavenly Lightning will constantly descend. This caused a large number of Lightning Root Dolls in the wilderness to evolve.”

It was normal to have Lightning Root Dolls near the Thunder Soul Earth.

“Their cultivation levels are quite high. They are all above 800 years. There are many who have been here for more than a thousand years. Moreover, they can trigger the Heavenly Lightning. Especially in such a place, being attacked by it means that you are in danger of being attacked by the Heavenly Lightning at all times.”

Wang Che glanced over and discovered that most of the Contract Soul Masters who entered were carefully avoiding these floating Lightning Hyacinths.

Compared to other lightning soul beasts, the Lightning Hyacinth was not considered strong, but the lightning triggered was very difficult to guard against. “Little caterpillar, let's go and catch some Lightning Hyacinths.”

Wang Che came up with a plan, “Gather them with the Insect Web and attract the Heavenly Lightning to cultivate the Magnetic Sword.”

The little caterpillar felt that this method would deal a huge blow to the Lightning Hyacinths.

But it did not refuse…
